Spider-Man

Real Name: Miles Morales

Roots: Cuban and African American

First Appearance: August 2011

Spidey’s multi-culti makeover wasn’t a hit with everyone. Media loudmouths Lou Dobbs was appalled by Spider-Man’s new biracial identity and Glenn Beck accused Marvel of drawing Morales in the likeness of Barack Obama. Although this was the first time Spider-Man was African American, it wasn’t his first Latino incarnation. In 1992, Marvel developed 2099, a comic series set over 100 years in the future, and introduced Spiderman 2099, Mexican and Irish geneticist Miguel O’Hara.

To prepare you for the Mexican version of St. Patrick’s Day, here are 10 celebs who look ready to shout “Tequila!”
